26 years ago, Square-Enix (known back then as just Square) released a game, not just any game, but what was going to be their final game. Little did they know that it would be far from their last, as Final Fantasy launched on December 18, 1987 for the Famicom/NES system, and went on...

Nintendo announced that Golf is being added today to Wii Sports Club for $9.99. It brings 18 holes, nine from Wii Sports and nine from NES Golf. Golf joins Tennis and Bowling in the Wii Sports Club selection and has a 24 hour free trial....

Nintendo announced Dr. Luigi, a Wii U title, during the Direct this morning, set to launch on the eShop. The game will play exactly like Dr. Mario but will include new L-shaped capsules. Various modes will be available, including online play, a “Classic” mode similar to Dr. Mario, and a new “Virus Buster” mode,...
